Stack 'Em: Teams and Players with Favorable Early Schedules

As fantasy football managers and DFS players, it is easy to get caught up in all the noise that is out there. But looking at the season quantitatively and logically helps too. Seeing what teams and what players have the best chance to succeed with a favorable early schedule makes a little sense too. What […]

The Deepest Dive - QB Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Can you name every fantasy league you played in last season? Probably not. But can you think of their average structure? The most probable question is yes because most leagues are often comprised of eight to 12 teams with 15 roster spots each and use the now-standard PPR format of scoring. That is not always the […]

DraftKings USFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 9: Daily Fantasy Football Advice

Week 9 of the USFL season is here. The season is quickly nearing its end. The Stallions still lead the league with an 8-0 record and are the clear team to beat at this point, though the Generals are just behind them at 7-1. Those teams should continue to pace the league this week, as […]

Great Running Back-Offensive Line Pairs to Target

Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end up looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that […]

Miami Dolphins Fantasy Breakouts, Busts, & Locks - Tua Tagovailoa, Jaylen Waddle, Raheem Mostert

Players With Misleading Numbers Worth Drafting - Jameis Winston, Christian McCaffrey, Michael Gallup

When it comes down to facing a fantasy draft, two numbers are often the most sought after by fantasy GMs: current ADP and overall rank from the prior season. No matter how experienced fantasy players are, those two numbers are thought of as the ultimate all-encompassing representations of every football player's value. Knowing what he […]

Overvalued Backup Running Backs - Rhamondre Stevenson, Alexander Mattison, Travis Etienne

Who doesn't love to draft a player late and see him blossom into a league winner? That can often be the case with running back handcuffs covering for starters that fall down to injury or enter the season holding out. Drafting a no. 2 running back late, or even getting him from waivers close to […]

Running Back-Offensive Line Combos to Fade

Sometimes fantasy GMs focus too much on raw, counting stats for running backs. How many yards did they rush for? How many touchdowns did they score? Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end up looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that […]

Players With Misleading Numbers Not Worth Drafting in 2022

When it comes down to facing a fantasy draft, two numbers are often the most sought after by fantasy GMs: current ADP and overall rank from the prior season.

How Every Rookie RB Impacts Their Backfield in 2022 Fantasy Football (Round 4 Picks)

Each year we see a handful of incoming rookie RBs finish as a RB2 or better in fantasy football. While the best rookies are typically those who are drafted on Day 2 or earlier (Najee Harris, Jonathan Taylor), there are also some recent examples of Day 3 picks and UDFA RBs who had great rookie […]

Top Backup Running Backs To Target in 2022 Drafts

One of the most crucial things a fantasy player can do is have the foresight to build a lineup that maximizes talent while also minimizing the risk of player injuries or holdouts.

Buy Back into Trevor Lawrence After Disastrous Rookie Season

Have you ever had an awful boss? I am not talking about a boss that is a little annoying, I am talking about one that you dread seeing and that seemingly makes life harder for you and all your coworkers. I am talking about a boss that makes you react the way Stanley reacts to […]

Competitive Receiving Corps to Fade in 2022 Fantasy Drafts

We're talking about fantasy football here, and in fantasy, football volume is the key to rostering and fielding a winning team. While everything boils down to that concept, seeking volume calls for looking deeper than just the name and reputation of players. Put a wide receiver or tight end in a stacked offense (one featuring […]

Draft or Fade? The Saquon Barkley Dilemma

It was just a few years ago that the New York Giants turned the football world on its head and drafted Saquon Barkley second overall in the NFL Draft. They went against the “RB doesn’t matter” grain and took a generational talent. Giants fans may hate that they took him over Josh Allen, but hey, […]

2022 Target Bounceback Candidates - Tight End

In the NFL and fantasy football, things can change as easily as the snap of a finger from campaign to campaign. One season, somebody breaks a record, and the next they are fighting for targets and struggling to produce. Based on game script, chemistry, and availability of weapons, targets can fluctuate for pass-catchers. In a […]

James Cook NFL Rookie Profile - Fantasy Football Running Back Outlook

If you want to start a Twitter squabble, just come out and say that James Cook is your RB2 of the 2022 Rookie Class.

Cheap But Good QB-WR-TE Stacks in Redraft

Running Back Committees Not to Avoid in 2022

Nobody likes a running back committee. Until you have to do so just out of pure logic. If we're offered the chance of drafting a bell-cow a la Christian McCaffrey in 2019, we're always going to pull the trigger no matter what the outcome ends up being. Just the fact that the man will carry the ball […]

Projecting the 2022 QB Class in Dynasty

Truly, no position in any sport trumps the value of the quarterback position in football. After all, there is a reason that the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is reserved for quarterbacks; a team, historically, can only go as far as the play of their quarterback allows. Thus, in every NFL Draft, the focus centers around […]

Best Wide Receiver Stacks for 2022

Sometimes we're afraid of putting together players from the same team on our rosters, let alone weekly lineups. To a certain extent, that makes sense: the opportunities one gets will take away from the opportunities the other could have gotten. Why limit the fantasy upside of our team with two receivers playing in the same offense […]
